Usage

Quick Start

1-Line art

⚠️ Some environments don't support all 1-Line arts

⚠️ ART 4.6 is the last version to support Bipartite art

1. art

This function return 1-line art as str in normal mode and raise artError in exception.

>>> from art import *
>>> art_1=art("coffee") # return art as str in normal mode
>>> print(art_1)
c[_]
>>> art_2=art("woman",number=2) # return multiple art as str
>>> print(art_2)
▓⚗_⚗▓ ▓⚗_⚗▓ 
>>> art("coffee", number=3, space=5) 
'c[_]     c[_]     c[_]'
>>> art("random") # random 1-line art mode
'(っ◕‿◕)っ '
>>> art("rand")   # random 1-line art mode
't(-_-t) '
>>> art(22,number=1) # raise artError
Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
art.art.artError: The 'artname' type must be str.

2. aprint

This function print 1-line art in normal mode (return None) and raise artError in exception.

>>> aprint("butterfly") # print art
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 
>>> aprint("happy") # print art
 ۜ\(סּںסּَ` )/ۜ
>>> aprint("coffee", number=3, space=5) 
c[_]     c[_]     c[_] 
>>> aprint("random") # random 1-line art mode
'(っ◕‿◕)っ '
>>> aprint("rand")   # random 1-line art mode
't(-_-t) '
>>> aprint("woman",number="22") # raise artError
Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
art.art.artError: The 'number' type must be int.

3. randart

randart function is added in Version 2.2 as art("random") shortcut.

>>> randart()
'ዞᏜ℘℘Ꮍ ℬℹℛʈዞᗬᏜᎽ '
>>> randart()
'✌(◕‿-)✌ '

• Note1 : Use ART_NAMES to access all arts name list (new in Version 4.2)
• Note2 : Use NON_ASCII_ARTS to access all Non-ASCII arts name list (new in Version 4.6)
• Note3 : Use ASCII_ARTS to access all ASCII arts name list (new in Version 5.7)

ASCII text

⚠️ Some fonts don't support all characters

⚠️ From Version 3.3 Non-ASCII fonts added (These fonts are not compatible with some environments)

⚠️ From Version 5.3 \n is used as the default line separator instead of \r\n (Use sep parameter if needed)

1. text2art

This function return ASCII text as str in normal mode and raise artError in exception.

>>> Art=text2art("art") # Return ASCII text (default font) and default chr_ignore=True 
>>> print(Art)
              _   
  __ _  _ __ | |_ 
 / _` || '__|| __|
| (_| || |   | |_ 
 \__,_||_|    \__|
                  
                     
>>> Art=text2art("art",font='block',chr_ignore=True) # Return ASCII text with block font
>>> print(Art)

Add constants and parameters to new file

Use lower version of setuptools to enable usage of pex

I don't evidently see the reason why the package would need a higher version of setuptools (>=39.2.0). This prevents the usage of pex, which has a requirement of setuptools>=20.3,<34.0.
As pex is widely used, it would perhaps be feasible to disable the constraint of enforcing a higher version of setuptools.

font_wizard enhancement

Description

Adding fonts to art could be boring with some repeated steps that should be considered for each font.
font_wizard.py has been developed by @sepandhaghighi as a solution to this problem but it can be more helpful.

New features for font_wizard

1. It can asks for font's name first and it's optional extra questions (for example "Is it ASCII or not?")
2. Run FontList.ipynb and autopep8
3. update font index in README.md
4. add a test case for new added font

Complete contribution guideline for adding a font can be found here.
